Butane is from the family of alkanes with –ane as its family name. The but- prefix stands for having four carbon atoms. The C4H10 is the general formula of butane and can also represent other forms or structures of butane. However if the question asks for the molecular formula of butane, think of how many electrons it can share to the hydrogen atom. The carbon atom can share 4 and hydrogen 1.  So if the three hydrogen atoms are attached to the first carbon, the other shared electron is attached to the second carbon. The second carbon atom can accommodate two hydrogen and 1 carbon. The third carbon can accommodate 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 carbon and the fourth carbon can accommodate 3 hydrogen atoms. The molecular formula is CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3.

Part A When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels, the neurotransmitter is serving as
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Receptor

Explanation:

   Neurotransmitters are defined as chemical messengers that carry, stimulate and balance signals between neurons, or nerve cells and other cells in the body.

  After release, the neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic gap and binds to the receptor site on the other neuron, stimulating or inhibiting the receptor neuron depending on what the neurotransmitter is. Neurotransmitters act as a key and the receptor site acts as a block. It takes the right key to open specific locks. If the neurotransmitter is able to function at the receptor site, it will cause changes in the recipient cell.

 The "first-class" neurotransmitter receptors are ligand-activated ion channels, also known as ionotropic receptors. They undergo a change in shape when the neurotransmitter turns on, causing the channel to open. This can be an excitatory or inhibitory effect, depending on the ions that can pass through the channels and their concentrations inside and outside the cell.  Ligand-activated ion channels are large protein complexes. They have certain regions that are binding sites for neurotransmitters, as well as membrane segments to make up the channel.
